Reviews

Firmly grounded in physics, but never hesitating to question conventional wisdom, Bain pushes the frontier of philosophy into the realm of our most fundamental quantum theories. This book is both a thorough introduction to the growing philosophical literature on CPT, and a valuable new contribution to that same literature. It is also a sobering reminder that, beyond the classic debates about the nature of quantum theory, new and largely unexplored mysteries abound. David John Baker, University of Michigan

... Bains analysis is admirable for its clarity and the arguments provided for each of the conclusions are well supported with details from the physics literature. There is much of value in this book, and it will quickly become an important reference for those with an interest in the foundations of quantum theories, and how physical theories discharge their explanatory duties. * Michael E. Miller, Metascience *
